<div style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;">
She has literally become a shadow of herself, losing confidence and esteem as the relationship progresses and time passes. She has never really been upset by the things she deserved and never got, or the ones that were wrongfully taken away from her. What drove her crazy was how she was treated, how her entitlements were denied her and how the others were snatched from her.</div>
<br />
<a href="http://a.dilcdn.com/bl/wp-content/uploads/sites/8/2014/11/yelling.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://a.dilcdn.com/bl/wp-content/uploads/sites/8/2014/11/yelling.jpg" height="182" width="320" /></a>Bunmi is in a relationship with a significant other who holds most of the trump cards... or so she believes. Bunmi is in a relationship, one that has evolved to become psychologically and emotionally abusive. She is no saint, she has her faults in truth but she has continually been raped by her significant other, usually with a grin on his face.<br />
<br />
Each time, she would look her significant other in the face, unable to fight or scream or scold because he holds most of the trump cards... or so she believes. Through it all, she has never really been able to do anything or hurt her significant other, there was simply no way out and so she has never had any form of respite till today.<br />
<br />
Today, her significant other raped her again! He took from her what he shouldn't have. Again, it wasn't about what he was taking it, it was about HOW he was taking it. She could never understand why he had to take things from her like she was a gutter snipe who didn't even deserve the very air she breathes, when as a matter of fact, she knows deep down she deserves better.<br />
<br />
<a href="https://i.ytimg.com/vi/KDXQfqW_ZzE/maxresdefault.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="179" src="https://i.ytimg.com/vi/KDXQfqW_ZzE/maxresdefault.jpg" width="320" /></a>Oh, how bitter Bunmi was! How much she wanted to get back at him without off-setting the trump cards. No, this wasn't about getting her valuables back. This was not about getting revenge. This was a matter of reserving whatever little dignity she had left. This was about self-respect and standing up for herself.<br />
<br />
She didn't want much today. Matter of fact, she wanted only one thing today. She had to get it done today or she might as well walk away leaving all the trump cards with her significant other. She got what she wanted! She got to say "FUNK YOU" to her significant other, and this time, with a smile on HER face. Oh... and FUNK the trump cards too!<br />

The bike picked up speed and swerved in-between two vehicles
moving in opposing directions. The following conversation ensued:</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 6pt;">

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 6pt;">
<b>Me:</b> Oga, take it easy oh. Ehen!</div>

<b>Bikeman:</b> Ahn ahn madam. Wetin sef?
Nothing has happened now</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 6pt;">
(I paused and
considered pursuing that line of argument but I changed my mind</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 6pt;">
<b>Me:</b> Well, I am just telling you oh
because if one tiny scratch just touch my leg, I will not take “sorry” oh</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 6pt;">
<b>Bikeman:</b> Haaa! Madam are you not a
Christian. Can’t you forgive?</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 6pt;">
(I decided
explaining my argument on that last statement would be futile so I don’t bother</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 6pt;">
<b>Me:</b> You don’t want to find out, trust
me. Just drive carefully.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 6pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 6pt;">
(He makes
another crazy swerve to get ahead…)</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 6pt;">
<b>Me:</b> Oga, e be like say you get spare
legs for your house abi? Me I don’t have so you better be careful because next
time, I will pinch you</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 6pt;">
<b>Bikeman:</b> Na wa oh. Be like say you get

<b>Me:</b> Oga, na you get your mouth. Drive
me gently</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 6pt;">

safely and got me home in one piece)<br />

<div class="MsoNormal">
<a href="https://encrypted-tbn2.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcTTIb-zIblpNI6LDk-Y_LB4UeeQZj1MSpxZpuWYQLh0AlPUX3m8" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Image result for expressionless face" border="0" src="https://encrypted-tbn2.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcTTIb-zIblpNI6LDk-Y_LB4UeeQZj1MSpxZpuWYQLh0AlPUX3m8" /></a>Having heard of endless stories of social media-originated
friendships and romances gone-wrong, I developed an aversion for making friends
online. Nonetheless, after several accusations, I decided to be a little
friendlier and respond to some chat requests. Still, it’s been difficult making
friends with most because the conversation hardly ever goes right. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
At some point, I sat down to think about it and I realised a
few things that seem to make it difficult.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b><br /></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b>Salutation: </b>“Sup”, “Xup”, “Hy”: What are those? Say hello and introduce yourself with the name you prefer to be called (Yes, even if your name is obviously on the chat). Avoid sharing your biodata before you get a response, it can be overwhelming and off-putting. Just keep it simple</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
For example, “Hello, my name is Debola. How are you doing?”</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b><br /></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b>Endearments</b>: I
promise you that English words were not created in a vacuum or as fillers, they
all have meaning. So “Dear” for instance, is for someone who is in actual fact,
dear to you. REFRAIN from using endearments such as Honey, dear, sweetie, babe,
and baby in addressing someone who is a total stranger. While you may mean well
and use endearments in the hope that it makes the other person comfortable, it
almost always has the reverse effect. It is cheesy at best..</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b><br /></b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="MsoNormal">
<b>Location</b>: Mehn,
don’t ask me where I live. Are you an armed robber looking for the next hit? If
you want to be friends, get to know me. Be patient enough to get to know me (the
person) before you ask to see me or ask about where I live.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b><br /></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b>Contact info: <o:p></o:p></b></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">

<div class="MsoNormal">

<div class="MsoNormal">
I am just here staring at the screen, as you download all
your details, hoping you will also drop the info to your safe deposit box too.
Such Nonsense!</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b><br /></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b>Sharing Information</b>:
I get that you want to move the friendship along quickly but I am of the school
of thought that friendship takes time to build. So please, resist the urge to
share the heavy stuff or baggage immediately. I really sympathize with you but
I honestly don’t want to have details of your divorce or heart break, I’m not a
counselor nor do I run a rebound agency.</div>

my days! This one just makes me want to yank my hair out. You love me? For
real? For real for real? Why and how did you think this tactic would work or do
I have desperado written on my forehead? YOU DON’T EVEN KNOW ME! And of course,
you absolutely don’t know what you want, if you did, you’d try to get to know
me and see if I am what you want or not.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b><br /></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b>The Sex-talk</b>:
Wait, how did we get here? No wait, how did YOU get here? It is in complete
poor taste for you to brooch this subject with someone who is a complete
stranger or even to flirtatiously make references (whether connotative or
literal). </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b><br /></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b>The Proposal</b>: You
know what? Read the last two points again. I might just have a headache if I
have to elaborate here…</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
You see these things are a complete turn-off for most males
and females of worth. Just because Facebook calls us friends does not mean we
are. Like I have already explained, it takes time to build rust and true friendship.
So, if you must make friends online, invest time to build it and not merely

I know each person has a distinct genetic make up and that our bodies react differently even to the same things but let us be clear on one thing, your genetic makeup or body reaction is not an excuse to inconvenience or hurt other people. I am very serious!</span><br />

Recently, I took a napep headed to Ogba. I was the first to get in after which the next passenger came in with a gigantic map of sweat around his armpit area. I squashed in the corner, angling my shoulders not to make direct contact with his armpit. If that was all I had to deal with, I definitely would have lived.<br />
<br />
The stench oozing from his armpits were so pungent, at some point, I shifted till I had my back to him and my nose was out of the napep; I needed the breath of fresh air. It may seem mean, but it honestly was that bad, I was almost choking. There are times I sit beside pleasantly fragranced men and women, though far between, those days make bus-riding pleasant.<br />

When I listen to some couples share their problems, I sometimes wonder if they really courted. </span><span style="color: #073763; font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Courtship enables you to know each other's strengths and weaknesses, likes and dislikes; it enables you affirm your decision to marry the person or confirm your need to run far away from them.</span></div>

<br style="line-height: 22.4px; text-align: left;" />
<div class="MsoPlainText" style="color: #041241; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 22.4px; text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #073763; font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">However more often than not, couples spend their courtship preparing for the wedding rather than getting to know each other. I recently had a conversation with a young protegee of mine who is preparing for her wedding. While discussing, I asked her fiance's preference on some issues concerning the wedding.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoPlainText" style="color: #041241; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 22.4px; text-align: left;">

<span style="color: #073763; font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">She replied, ‘I don’t know ma”.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoPlainText" style="color: #041241; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 22.4px; text-align: left;">

<div class="MsoPlainText" style="color: #041241; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 22.4px; text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #073763; font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">“How come you don’t know? Didn’t you both discuss it?” I asked.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoPlainText" style="color: #041241; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 22.4px; text-align: left;">

<div class="MsoPlainText" style="color: #041241; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 22.4px; text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #073763; font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">“No, we didn’t ma”, she answered.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoPlainText" style="color: #041241; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 22.4px; text-align: left;">

<span style="color: #073763; font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">"Well you should have discussed it so both of you are on the same page”, I told her.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoPlainText" style="color: #041241; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 22.4px; text-align: left;">

<div class="MsoPlainText" style="color: #041241; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 22.4px; text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #073763; font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">I asked a few more questions about her fiancé and she would either reply with, “He hasn’t told me” or “I don’t know” or “We haven’t discussed it”.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoPlainText" style="color: #041241; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 22.4px; text-align: left;">

<span style="color: #073763; font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">So after a while I asked her, "what have you discussed?" To my surprise, they haven’t covered many things I considered essential yet they will be getting married in a few weeks.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

Usually, there are classes for couples who are engaged and preparing for their wedding but singles are hardly taught what to do during courtship.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoPlainText" style="color: #041241; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 22.4px; text-align: left;">

<div class="MsoPlainText" style="color: #041241; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 22.4px; text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #073763; font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">How can two walk together unless they agree? How can they agree if they do not discuss?<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoPlainText" style="color: #041241; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 22.4px; text-align: left;">

<span style="color: #073763; font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">This piece is for #Singles. Although this is not an exhaustive list, I trust it covers the most important things you need to discuss and agree on during courtship.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoPlainText" style="color: #041241; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 22.4px; text-align: left;">

<div class="MsoPlainText" style="color: #041241; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 22.4px; text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #073763; font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">#1.<b>Compatibility in Faith</b>: If Christ is the foundation of your marriage you need to ensure that you both have the same foundation. Discuss your salvation experience, faith experience and testimonies, level of commitment, acceptance of the Bible as final authority. Do we pray together, study the word together, etc in marriage?</span></div>
<div class="MsoPlainText" style="color: #041241; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 22.4px; text-align: left;">

<div class="MsoPlainText" style="color: #041241; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 22.4px; text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #073763; font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">#2. <b>The concept of Headship and submission</b>: Often after couples marry, they realize that their concept of headship and submission is at variance. The man wants a woman who never argues with him, while the woman sees herself as a partner and must have a say. Combine them and wahala begins! Having this discussion again and again helps a couple agree on what their roles are.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoPlainText" style="color: #041241; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 22.4px; text-align: left;">

There is a need to discuss who will do what and share expectations of each other. Will the man be the sole breadwinner? Or will it be a proportional sharing of expenses. Will you share a bank account? Keep individual accounts? Both? How money will be sourced and managed must to be ironed out.</span></div>

<span style="color: #073763; font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">#4. <b>Life in Marriage</b>: A couple needs to be upfront with each other about what they would like to alter or change in marriage. If you would prefer a housewife or would rather your wife not work, it should be discussed and agreed on during courtship. Springing such surprises on your spouse can lead to distrust. If you are planning to leave the country or change your career etc, you need to discuss it. Also talk about how tasks will be shared in the home: cleaning, cooking, washing dishes, yard work, car repairs, shopping for food, and household stuff.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; color: #041241; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 22.4px; text-align: center;">

<div class="MsoPlainText" style="color: #041241; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 22.4px; text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #073763; font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">#5. <b>Relatives and in-laws</b>: This is another trouble spot for many marriages and you need to observe this area. Discuss their role in the marriage (if any), visitation rights and duration, financial obligation to both parents, how you would interact with them. Ladies should do well to find out how other wives (where applicable) are treated. Do you present a united front to them and deal with them as a couple or do you deal with them individually (not advised). Share your culture on expected roles.</span></div>

A decision needs to be reached on where they would worship as a family or if a new place of worship will be chosen, where the children will go as well as the doctrines they will imbibe.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #073763; font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">#7. <b>Health History and Genetics</b>: This goes without saying and should be cleared up before getting engaged. If there is any trouble, even if you have received your healing, you need to disclose it so your partner makes an informed decision. Previous health challenges, surgeries, etc</span></div>

What are the standards of behavior? What are the appropriate ways to discipline them?</span></div>

<span style="color: #073763; font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">#9. <b>Goals & Life Ambitions:</b> A lot of people complain that their partners are laid back and have no ambition, its important to know what your partners ambition is and the level of the ambition. Some are too driven and would do anything to get where they are while some are laid back and are no talk. So don’t just take his/her word for it, search for actions to corroborate. Pursuit is the evidence of desire.</span></div>

<span style="color: #073763; font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">#10. <b>How to Quarrel:</b> This is the last but not the least. I read a book before getting married and learnt that there is a need to agree on how to fight. As a couple you will disagree many times so it’s good to have a guideline to clean, healthy and godly disagreements. For example you can agree on: No name calling, no sleeping on separate beds no matter what, no refusal to cook/eat when angry, and always settling matters before bed. It can also be a code word for the other party to know when to stop talking, no verbal or physical abuse (very important). It’s a time to learn how to disagree on issues and still avoid hurting the personality of your partner. How you fight is important because a lot couples damage their emotional connection when they quarrel over small issues.</span></div>

<span style="color: #073763; font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"> The purpose of these discussions is to get to know the other party better and know whom you are marrying as well as what to expect from the marriage. Sometimes, after these discussions, some couples go their separate ways; it is better than to divorcee after 2 years. Still, most couples are able to work it out and agree on what is best for them thereby creating a win-win situation.</span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
The walls closed in on me in the open space, </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Even as claustrophobia rose to choke me throat.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
In my crave for calm to this insanity,</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I raced into the crowd for refuge,</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Trusting the multitude will provide repose.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I search for tranquil in familiar faces</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
But there is to be no warmth nor home here</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I snapped round around like a carousel</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Eyes darting in search of the now incessant piercing scream</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Hands jerking to defend eardrums threatening to burst</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
As an ache slammed smack into the fore of my head</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Finally, I found my throat was the screeching culprit</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
My detached mind unaware, </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
My reflexive hand reaches to yank a handful of hair</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Then the sudden tear-spill seized </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Drops hanging mid-air and motions stilled</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
In that moment of earthal pause</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Eyes brightened, cheeks blushed, </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Shoulders squared, slouch straighten,</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
And the world relived with my springy step…</div>

Went the hiss marked chants of the maddened crowd<br />
Howling stick and stones that may miss or hit<br />
Hoping that they hit more than they miss<br />
<br />
She willed her weary frame from ducking<br />
Embracing the incessant pain from hitting objects<br />
Wondering how she got here<br />
She got sucked into a reverie that dulled the numbing noise<br />
<br />
She had meant well<br />
She always did, didn't she?<br />
She never shied from spilling truths<br />
Perhaps shared a bit too cold a little too often<br />
But it was truth and she would rather serve cold than not<br />
<br />
There could be no greater disservice to humanity<br />
Than truth withheld<br />
Nothing more harmful or heart wrenching<br />
Than face filled of deceitful smile<br />
And false encouragement<br />
The silent traits of traitors<br />
<br />
She started to fall and fade<br />
A last mocking smile spreading across her face<br />
A smile that frenzied the already mad crowd<br />
Her eyes started to close as warm liquid trickled down her nose<br />
She would do it over and over again if she could<br />
She hit the ground with a thud of finality<br />
And an unshakable smile that said she had won<br />
She won!<br />
<br />

width="200" /></a>Okay, let me start off by saying I am not really into all that body-contact thing, especially with people I don't know. Yeah, I know we ladies always have our bags on our shoulders or arms; or our purses in our hands but the menfolk just usually shove their wallets in their side or back-pockets. I have absolutely no quarrel with that.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
What I have a problem with is that a brother who knows his wallet or money is in his pocket will not remove it before entering buses where we are all cramped together like sardines, No. He waits until the conductor requests for money , then he starts to dig into his pocket in that horridly tight space, inadvertently rubbing against your thighs. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
The more respectable ones have learnt how to raise their lower body to avoid appearing to be groping females but the careless ones will even elbow your boobs (insert wide eyes here). I mean, what is so difficult in bloody getting your bloody money out in time? What?</div>

I can't take this, I really can't. What is this about now? You took a bus and paid your fee and so did I but somehow, your knee is digging into my bum from behind. What is that about? You really can't say you can't feel it so, why won't you sit properly in the bus? <br />
<br />

<br />
"Oga, please sit up", I'd say<br />
"Excuse me?" He'd retort.<br />
<br />
By now, fight lovers and aprokos are now watching or pretending to be looking ahead though their invisible aproko ears are stretched.<br />
<br />
"I said, 'please sit up. Your knees are digging into my bum'"<br />
<br />
...and there goes endless expressions from all corners of the bus: The shock, the smile, the quiet chuckle, the boisterous laugh, the head shakes, the rebuke and of course, that embarrassed flush on the face of my bum-harasser as he scurries to sit up as instructed.<br />
<br />
There... the balance of the universe has been restored and now I can go back to my struggle against soaking up other people's sweat in peace.<br />

Me? There are ten (10) I follow consistently, about three (3) I watch only out of boredom and another three (3) that I have watched from start to finish.<br />
<br />
I'm sure some of you are gasping at the numbers or perhaps you are wondering how I keep up without getting the stories all mixed up. I honestly wish I could explain too but I really can't. I figured if I devote some much time to watching series, then I must be able to task myself to draw vital life lessons from them, or else, I give them up all together. So that is what this page is about; drawing life lessons from the series I watch.<br />
<br />
Let's see how it goes!<div class="blogger-post-footer"><script type="text/javascript" src="http://konga.postaffiliatepro.com/scripts/banner.php?k_id=EvonPink&k_bid=c0256d85"></script></div>Evon Pinkhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09448302192756340496noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5981399987252885280.post-66574110089349954332015-11-16T11:12:00.003+01:002015-11-16T11:21:41.770+01:00Tales of a Commuter<a href="http://naijalog.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/11/danfo-bus+yeoal.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="150" src="http://naijalog.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/11/danfo-bus+yeoal.jpg" width="200" /></a>I know it has been quite long I was here last; okay, its been over a year. Some of you are even tired of encouraging me to come back on here; well, I am back now. Can we kiss and make out now?! Ooops! Sorry, I meant make up; its the bloody autocorrect (yeah right).<br />
<br />
I am back on my free-spirit zone and I have something new too; I present to you the Tales of a Commuter. You see, the past one years has left me exhausted and weary of public transportation and since I tend to rant about it on Facebook every now and then, I figured I might as well make it a series here. They will mostly be short stories so don't worry about long reads.<br />
<br />

been misjudged as complacent. The more diplomatic critics say I’m lackadaisical.
This ought to bother me but I wave it off with the thought that it doesn’t really
matter on the scale of things.</span><br />
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<span style="font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: "calibri";">I have made
it a principle I live by….that I will not bother or worry about circumstances I
have no control over or cannot change. Depending on the situation, I’ll just
cut my losses and move on.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<span style="font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: "calibri";">I sat down
there and stared into oblivion, bored out of my mind as my Oga, Chief Tega
rattled on for the third time in two months about how wasteful we are as a
people. His ‘sermon’, usually delivered in high pitch, goes something like:<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">

<span style="font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: "calibri";">“I don’t understand where this
country is going to. We are just damned wasteful as a nation! Why do we feel
obligated to always pick a colour theme and then still go ahead to pay for Aso
Ebi?! We pile up a truck load of souvenirs we really don’t need at the end of a
party when there are people starving and homeless. It’s simply pathetic!”<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<span style="font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: "calibri";">Of course
some of the words vary each time but it’s still the same message every time. I
often wonder why he subjects me to such torture since I’m not in the position
to answer any of his questions nor can I wave a wand to change people’s
mentality.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<span style="font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: "calibri";">What makes
the scenario hilarious is the fact that he would, after his sermon, write me a
cheque and send me to pay for the Aso Ebi anyway! Sometimes, he would even
drive with me to the ATM to withdraw the money.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<span style="font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: "calibri";">I understand
him though. Regardless of how he feels, he is a rich and influential man who can’t
afford to decline the proposal of Aso Ebi. It would make him appear cheap and
his wife can’t bear to wear something different at parties.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<span style="font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: "calibri";">This Aso Ebi
is for Mrs Hadizat Billings’ 70<sup>th</sup> birthday party. As I drove to her
house, I reminisced about how Oga had told the same story last two weeks when
Chief Onubogwu’s daughter was to marry …and last month when Mr Adekoya was to
be buried …and six weeks ago when his own niece was to christened her son. It
kinda makes him a hypocrite, doesn’t it?<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<span style="font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: "calibri";">We talk too
much in this country and get absolutely nothing done. If you flip through local
channels every morning, you will see lots and lots of breakfast shows where one
or more guests have been invited to discuss issues affecting our nation. All
that talk for only-God-knows-how-long and we are still where we started.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<span style="font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: "calibri";">As I parked
and walked into Mrs Billings’ home, I thought to myself that in fact, we are
worse off than when we started. The entirety of the Nigerian situation has
caused everyone to become highly analytical.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<span style="font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: "calibri";">I put a
pause on my thoughts as I make the necessary transactions. Where was I? Ha….yes!
Poverty, NO income, high cost of living has robbed us all of whatever measure

of hunger and malaria in our country…can you imagine that? We are still
struggling with Polio after almost 30years of battle! Our presidential candidates
still use mundane things such as water supply, better roads, steady lights,
improved medical services and provisions of social amenities as campaign strategy…what
a shame! Talk my a**!<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">I have been meaning to write a short story about myself for
quite a while now but my schedule has been crazy so I have been unable to get
the chance! Today is a free day so I have decided to type some...<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">First thing I want you to know about me is that I do not
believe in fairy tales nor do I have fantasies. I am a very realistic, logical,
highly rational girl. I am totally without sentimental but I am emotional. It’s
a little bit confusing to think about but hey…<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">You must be wondering who I am. I go by the name Tara Harte.
I am a classy girl but I won’t bore you with details about my background. I live
in a two-bedroom apartment in Abuja- very posh- and I drive a 2008 Camry.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">I am currently undergoing the mandatory youth service…thank
God it’s almost over. You must wonder how old I am to afford this kind of
lifestyle considering the nation’s economic situation…I am only 25 years old.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<a href="http://www.trbimg.com/img-1389999672/turbine/redeye-black-sails-photos-starz-toby-stephens--012/480" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="212" src="http://www.trbimg.com/img-1389999672/turbine/redeye-black-sails-photos-starz-toby-stephens--012/480" width="320" /></a><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I have another job
though (asides my PPA i.e.)…I am a giver! The more formal ones in my profession
would term me an ‘escort’ while those intolerant of my job would call me a
prostitute, a whore, whatever…it’s all just semantics. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Do I love my job? Of course, why else would I do it?” oh
yeah….the money! The money is really good, no? I know I must disgust you but
common, I have seen myself through University, studying Mass Communication (I
like to call it Mass Fornication *wink!). Once I am done with my service year –which
is soon- I have enough money saved up to travel out and study at New York
Academy.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">You see, I moved to Abuja five years ago when I got
admission into the University of Abuja and I have been here ever since. Most
people have been misled to believe that it’s easy to be a giver, to take care
of the needs of others selflessly and ensure they come off satisfied at the end
of the day…how wrong they are!<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">The dangers of serving a client who is a total stranger, the
anxiety at the thought of the things that I might have to do to please
him/her/them (common, don’t be so narrow minded!) and whether you come off as a
great server or a horrible one.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>You also
have to worry about whether you will get superb referrals. There are times I
even had to read a whole book or watch a movie to understand the role play a
client desired. (Let me not ‘assault’ you with the details)<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">You may stand there and laugh at my profession but like
everyone else, you have to work up your way on the ladder of success. Today, at
the age of 25, I serve the aristocrats of the society. I strongly believe in
the Word which says, “Do not despise the days of little beginnings…”(who are
you to judge me?)<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">In the beginning, my clients were mostly bank manager and
people of such rank. Today, I can proudly beat my chest of having worked my way
up the ladder to a place of influence where I give service to senators, governors
and political party chairmen. By next year, before I travel, I am looking to
break into the harem of godfathers and even African presidents.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">By now, I’m sure you can tell I take what I do seriously and…<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">“Ewo”, I shouted as a slap landed on my back<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Ipa looked down at me with a stern face and said, “your brother
dey go Enugu tomorrow, do and come and enter the school wey you wan go for the
form abi na wetin sef?<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">I promptly got off the mat, adjusting my wrapper as I made
for the board behind the door.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">“Me and mama Chikodi, your younger brother, don dey save money
since for this time wey you go go school. Abi you no wan go again?” Ipa asked.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">“Nnayi, I wan go. Thank you Nnayi.” I said as I bent to
light the oil lamp.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">I sat on the stool and placed the board on my lap. I brought
out my UME form and began to fill in the Universities of my choice as that was
the only part I had not filled yet.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">“So which wan you come choose na?” Ipa asked<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">“First choice, University of Abuja, near Aso Rock” I replied.
That brought a smile to Ipa’s face. “Second, University of Lagos”. He nodded<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Like I said, I do not believe in fantasies but I believe in
vision! (Wink!)<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">By the way, my name is Chichi Maduagwu Chukwuka (see why Tara
Harte is better?). I live with my parents in Izzi, Ebonyi State. I am 19 years
old… pleased to meet you, see you in six years!</span><span style="font-family: calibri;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

Breathing is normal and so is eating and sleeping. Everyone must grow up and transit from a duty-free child to be a responsible adult. We may marry and have children. We must work and earn a living, regardless of whether it’s a corporate job or personal business venture. We must look out for our best interests and of those we love…these are normal!<br />
<br />
In the Nigerian context, some generations ago, it was normal for kids to eat sand. All children, regardless of gender, played with tires, simulating a moving vehicle. It is normal for kids to talk back to elder nowadays or at best, demand an explanation for instructions given. It is normal to swerve out and drive off on a one-way lane if the traffic is heavy on the rightful lane. It is normal to accept money after freely rendering help. Incentives must be offered before corporate organizations carry out their social responsibility. Where I have influence, a person should receive instant employment simply by virtue of being related. Even though I studied for my exams, I can at least ask my friend for the answer to one objective question I’m not sure of…these have become normal. <br />
<br />
We grew up to know and accept the actions, principles and norms that go on around us. The occurrences being established in our subconscious inadvertently become the standard by which all similar occurrences are measured and/or certified. Sometime, we get more exposure and realize the folly of our gauge factors and then we make amends where necessary. We, the ones who collectively make up the society, eventually pressure all those around us to succumb to the power and pressure of unspoken and implicit standards. <br />
<br />
When inevitable excess step in, we call for moderation and balance based on these principles, based on our uniquely enforced but clearly unstated and undocumented rules. We mount pressure to eventually retract the right reactions from excessive personalities and in time, they submit and reshape to societal dictates and principles. These implicit codes and principles over time and generations usurp more and become as invincible as the even the law. These become ancient rules passed down by fore-fathers, therefore becoming unquestionable and unchallenged, thus gaining increasing potency.<br />
<br />
You may be wondering where this is going. Well, let’s explore series of questions that are bound to jerk your thinking neurons. Why do we constantly accept certain things where we ought to question their origin? Who exactly determines what is moderate and on what measured basis is moderation itself determined? What validates the perspective and presumptions of the society? Does the non-acceptance of my actions necessarily mean it is wrong? What empowers societal pressure? What is right?<br />
<br />
Before I began this write-up, I had series of answers to give and solutions to proffer; I even had an altogether different perspective to teach on this matter with the sole aim of disabusing and reorienting your minds. Now that I have written all this down on paper, I wonder whether I had a full grasp of the depth of the issue before I started writing. Nonetheless, I will go on and share these:<br />
<div>
<br />
That something "seems" right does not mean it is necessarily right. Convictions does not equal validation<br />
<div>
<br />
Every rule, law, principle, code of conduct that is operational in life, whether legal or implicit, has a reason that instructs its existence. Whenever such reasons seem unclear or are unknown, it is only fitting that research be made. Long story short, question all things!<br />
<div>
<br />
A multitude does not equal validation, though they may equal acceptance, therefore learn what is right, what is proper and not merely what is acceptable.<br />
<div>
<br />
Societal prescriptions and pressures per time, does not mean that everyone’s life must follow the same order. We are all unique and are created for different purposes, so while some accomplishments are basic in life, we aren’t all programmed to achieve them within the same space of time.</div>
<div>
<br />
These are key points that are to instruct our lives and reorient the fundamental principles and implicit rules we accept as normal. Instead of accepting unexplained and unproven ideologies, let knowledge and research instruct your day-to-day choices and life overall. </div>

mini gown. I had gotten everything done as I wanted but could only get half an
hour sleep. I was getting set for my show when I realised I forgot my flash
drive at home. You see, I have two laptops- one at home and one at work, so all
I have to do is transfer my work on a flash drive from home to use on my
computer at work.<br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I hurried back to the lounge and shouted at Ben, my work buddy
to help start and stall the program till I got back. I dashed to the nearest
herd of bikemen. They already knew me so all I had to say was, “take me home”.
I jumped off the bike and ran towards the house but stopped short at my
door…there were dim lights inside. It was a little surprising since we almost
never get robbery attacks in my area and it was still too early to even rob…it
was only 6: 45pm. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<img height="425" src="http://www.botanicalartdesign.com/data/photos/46_1r2__container.jpg" width="640" />I opened the door with my keys as I thought Bola must have
left worked a little ear…”uhn!” I jumped. I had stepped on a cluster of rose
petals strewn all over the floor. I looked at the trail, it led into my
bedroom. There were candles lit and a sweet fragrance I didn’t recognize.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I took a deep breath and smiled, “Ok!”</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
It’s a little strange that Bola would do this as he knows
I’m meant to be at the studio but who cares?! I pulled off my gown and went in
semi-nude. I walked into the room but it was empty. All of a sudden, I feel a
warm palm on my back and my mind went blank. It was quite dark as the blinds
were closed and there was absolutely no light…I moved in to kiss Bola and felt
a little gloss on his lips. As I leaned into his body, my boobs hit something
just as similar and then I pushed and screamed.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
I ran for the lights and just as
I suspected, Chris was standing there, nude!</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
“What the f**k?!” I yelled.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
“Oh, so If it had really been
Bola, you would have slept with him”, she spat.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
“And in my room?!” I wasn’t
listening to her, I was too struck with disbelief….my mouth was still agape.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
“You ungrateful wench! After the
juicy offer I made you, you turn to treat me like this?”</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
My hands jerked and started
lashing out. It wasn’t until she blocked off my hands that I realised I had
been slapping her. It was like I went into some sort of rage that seized me. My
initial reaction at my outburst was shock and then it gradually dissolved into
a grin. Chris had been pushing my buttons and now I have finally snapped.
Whatever she got, she deserved!</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
She held her face and stared.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
“Pack all your trash and get the
hell out of my house before I tear you apart.”</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
It didn’t take her long. As we
both headed out I said, “Hand me the keys with you”. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
I knew that was milking it a
little too much and was a little surprised because she did. She stormed off and
drove away in a hurry.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
The night at the station was
quite interesting and tiring. There was a long phone-in session and a lot of
people had quite a lot to whine about. I unlocked my door and strolled in
tired.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
“Good morning dear”, I said to
Bola, my voice barely louder than a whisper.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
“How was your day yeaterday?” he
really didn’t sound concerned.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
“Eventful. I’ll give you the
details later”, I said as I made to walk into my room</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
“Tell me now”, he literally
barked at me. "I got a call from Chris’ father
this morning, telling me that the deal is off and when I asked why, He mumbled
something about violent roommates assaulting other people’s daughters.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
I was no longer sleepy. I sighed
and launched into the full story.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
“Go to bed”, He was so sullen!</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<br /></div>

width="320" /></a>I left without a word. Now wasn’t
time to apologize, it would only make him madder. As I fell into bed, I checked
my wristwatch; it was 6:13am. My mind started racing. I felt bad about how I
messed Bola’s deal. He worked way too hard to lose it….</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
I woke up at 11:07am and dragged
to the living room. Bola was just stepping in so I apologized, profusely!</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
He said not to worry, that it had
all been settled but he gave no details. I decided not to push it, I could ask for details later. I was to have a meeting for 1:00pm so
I got all showered and dressed. I left home in time for my meeting so I could
beat traffic.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
After my meeting, I hooked up
with my some old friends. I thought to call Bola but I thought to let him be. I eventually headed home at 5:00pm. I had had a great
time out with my friends. As I walked into the house, it seemed a little
strange but I didn’t bother. I flopped on the settee and slept off.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
I woke up an hour later but
didn’t get up. My mind was blank and I simply stared at the wall. After awhile,
I tilted my head to the right as I kept staring at a particular part of the
wall that looked cleaner. Just then, I realised Bola’s picture used to hang
there.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
I jerked and looked at the table,
Bola’s desktop was gone. I swung my head to check for his play station, gone!
His ball, gone! I ran into his room, empty! I ran into my room, his picture on
my dressing table was gone. I sank into the bed and felt something under my bum…
a note?</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
It was short, with no explanation
and no apologies. It simply read, </div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; text-align: center;">
<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"><br /></i></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; text-align: center;">

My clothes were strewn everywhere.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>As I bent up to pick, fold and arrange them neatly, my thoughts started racing. I have to be at the studio by 7:00pm for the night shift. It’s 3: 00pm now and my script isn’t even finished. I need an hour to leave the house, get to the studio and get settled in, so that means I must be out by 6:00pm. I need an hour to freshen up for work and an hour before that to sleep. By my calculation, I have just one hour to….</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The shrill of the door bell interrupted my thoughts.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“I’m coming”, I yelled.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"><br />
</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>As I swung the door open,”oh! Hello Chris, Bola isn’t home yet”.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Seeing that I wasn’t inviting her in, she said, “Actually Deola, I came to see you”.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Somehow, I had been expecting this visit but I was still surprised. I was going to ask her to come some other time but out of respect for Bola, I let her in, told her to sit and offered her a drink.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“I really don’t mean to be rude but I need you to make this quick ‘<span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">cos</span> I haven’t finished my script yet”. She nodded.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Then she started, “I’ll go straight to the point”. I smiled</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“I want you to move out!” </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
My neck snapped, “Excuse me?” I said I had been expecting this visit but I never expected the conversation to go this way.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Chris leaned forward,” Look, we both know that Bola is in love with you, and he is the only one who doesn’t seem to know it. I don’t stand a chance of making him fall in love with me if you don’t move out”.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I discreetly gritted my teeth and thought, ‘what nerve’! I was seething!</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

I know it’s small but I’ll also give you a cheque of 2 million. All you have to do is move out by weekend and keep this between us.”</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I smiled, “How awfully generous of you dear”.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
She smiled back. Of course the sarcasm was lost on her; she is as dull as an overused pen!</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“I’ll think about it.” I got up and walked towards the door, grabbed and swung it wide open, “Thanks for stopping by”.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
She grinned, “awww! I knew this wouldn’t be so hard. We could all do with a little extra comfort, can’t we?”</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
My grin widened as I said, “We sure can!” and thought, ‘Get your butt out, you insulting b***h!’</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
I looked at the time…3: 20pm? That conversation seemed like an eternity! I really felt insulted. Who the hell does she think she is? Just a filthy rich kid without morals or principles, who thinks she can buy her way through life, that’s who!</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
“Mschew!” I hissed then thought, damn girl! That hiss was nasty! A smile crept on my face and then I remembered my dad and how I got to this point…</div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; text-align: center;">
******</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
“Deeeeeoooollllaaaa!”</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
I’m sure people living three streets away would have heard him scream.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
I rolled my eyes and answered from the next room, “yes daddy?!”</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
“Come here! Why didn’t you show up at church today?”</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
I took a deep breath, “daddy, we have been over this before. I am no longer coming to church with you. I have found a church where I feel fulfilled, why do you not understand this daddy? Why do you find it so hard to just accept? This is not out of disrespect or anything, I am just trying to find my own bearing”.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
He gave me a stare, “you are asking me abi? Henceforth, you either come to church with me or you move out and attend whatever church you want, is that clear!” It really wasn’t a question.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
He strode off to his room. I didn’t follow him. I made a mental note to talk to him later that night.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
At about 10:00pm, dad retired to his room. I waited for about 30minutes so he could get settled before approaching him. I apologised for getting him angry and every other thing he might be accusing me of silently. Then, for the uptenth time, I explained the reasons behind my decision to leave the church he worshipped at. All attempts to bring him round were futile! He was sticking to his ultimatum.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
The next day, I sent text messages to my siblings, asking them to beg him on my behalf but dad wouldn’t budge. I then called mum, dad’s brother and three of dad’s best friends, as it turned out, involving them only made it worse.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
I was at my wit’s end, so I called Bola, my best friend.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
“Hello dear”, he responded to my greeting.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
“Bola….”</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
“Deola, guess what, I just found this apartment in Opebi. It’s a two bedroom with a spacious kitchen, airy sitting room plus the lavatories are in good condition. With a little touch here and there, this crib would be so posh! The only problem is I am short of 60k and I haven’t found a roommate yet.”</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
“A smiled spread across my face, “I’ll be your roommate and I’ll give you the 60k by Friday.”</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
I could visualize his face gradually squeezing into a frown, “ok, start talking!”</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
Of course he knew something was wrong, that’s why we are besties. I downloaded the full gist…</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
“Are you sure you want to do this?”</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
“Do you want 60k and a roommate you already know through and through?”</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
“See you Wednesday!” He was referring to our weekly lunch out together.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
“Yeah! Bye dear.”</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
Even though I had given Bola the money, I still made countless efforts to appeal to my dad but he was adamant. The final straw that broke the camel’s back happened the following Sunday. Dad must have been hoping I would have caved in and come to church by 8:00pm because at 8: 45, while I was out with the choir of my new church, he showed up and literally dragged me into the car. When we got to his church, I was all roughened up and refused to come out of the car. Suddenly, I heard a thunder bolt and simultaneously felt a searing pain at my cheek.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
Needless to say, I moved out that day. Fortunately, Bola had finished cleaning and furnishing the house. I called him and he hired a cab to come get my stuff.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
That is how it all started. It would have been easy for Bola and I to hit it off but we were scared of messing our friendship up, so we laid some ground rules about domestic work and our sex lives. We were also too busy trying to work our way to a place of relevance in our different fields, so there was no time to fool around.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
This however, did not stop us from doing everything together. We cooked together, washed dishes and clothes together, sanitized the house together, attended parties as each other dates, called each other during distressing times at work, we would sing songs together, bring home little gifts every now and again; our lives were intertwined.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
I called and visited home from time to time. At first, it was difficult to keep up because my relationship with my parents had become strained but I kept at it. Eventually, my dad asked me to come back home but by then, a year and a half had gone by. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
A year and a half had gone by with Bola in my world and I started to believe things wouldn’t change. His friends were mine and my friends were his. Our world seemed to evolve around each other. Of course we had our fights and ugly moments but we managed them well. We shared trying times and we found consolation in each other.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
Did we have sex?!</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
It was towards the end of our second year as friends? Lovers? Roommates? –whatever you want to call us- that he met Christian Odufe. She is the daughter of the CEO, O’Duffy Insurance Co. –a company which Bola was working with at the time.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://betsyice.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/06/women-fighting-over-guy.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://betsyice.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/06/women-fighting-over-guy.jpg" /></a></div>
Chris had had to represent her father at one of the scheduled meetings with Bola and out of courtesy and of course, desire to clinch the deal, Bola had fallen into all of Chris’ whims and she had in turn, made sure she left no stone unturned in her bid to lure him.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
Soon enough, I got to meet her after I had heard more appalling stories than I cared to. Since Bola and I had never t to redefine our relationship, I couldn’t as well come off screaming about being cheated on. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
Now, one might expect that things between Bola and I would change but it didn’t and still hasn’t. Rather than eat out with Chris, he would get home in time to help with the cooking. I am still the one he calls when he is on the edge at work; I was still his confidant and bestie.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
Fridays, fortnightly, his friends with their girlfriends /fiancées would gather at our place for some sort of mini-party. In time past, we had had spaghetti parties, pizza parties, French fies and burger party – they were all food-themed parties with all sorts of drinks and loud music. Countless times, we had neighbour banging on our door because of the music, the more daring ones joined in the fun!</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
All this of course, irked Chris. I was the known and accepted one...I was a major stakeholder in the ‘cabal’ and no one wanted that to change. The other girlfriends couldn’t relate with Chris, therefore, she wasn’t invited to our bi-monthly girls’ night (this started a year ago). Chris started to misbehave as there is only so much she could take. Pity!</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<br /></div>

CONCLUDING PART COMES UP SOON!</div>

<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace; font-size: x-small;">Prior to the elections that took place in April 2011, there were series of bombing and security threats in the country. I have never been a politics fanatic but I was particularly struck by the bombings in Jos. Perhaps what caught my attention and even appalled me about the whole matter was that our then acting President made a visit to the distressed areas and refused to make references to the tragic situation. He offered no word of comfort nor made promises to bring the hoodlums to justice.</span></span></span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace; font-size: x-small;">It was at this point that my red flags started to shoot up and my “retard” alert started to blare. I, of course made made sure to point this out to anyone who so much as mentioned his name. We all got carried away by sentiment because the man-child with no shoes was about to be “cheated” by those who preached zoning. Quite a number of people where even blasphemous enough to proclaim him messiah! We got “hypnotised” by the series of “goodlucks” that Goodluck has had:<o:p></o:p></span></span></span></span></div>

I mean, when the President and the Commander-in-Chief of armed forces of Nigeria tells you that you just have to bear the loss of life and lack of security, he tells you in other words that he cannot provide you with security and that you are on your own , whatever happens.

<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Maxine was folding and packing some clothes into a small travelling bag. She was doing it with quite a lot of vexation. Emerald, her ‘bunkie’, asked for Maxine’s gold pearl earrings which she always wore with her own brown mini gown. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">
</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">The request made Maxine snap, “Isn’t it about time you bought yours?”<o:p></o:p></span></div>

</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Now, Maxine has never really been your average cuddly and mushy kinda girl but something was obviously wrong.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">I have never been able to understand how Maxine and Emerald could possibly have a connection that runs deep but they do. You see, Maxine is a rich kid with parents who are constantly fighting, arguing or insulting each other. They obviously love her to bits because she never goes without but still, she is affected by the lack of love between her parents.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Emerald on the other hand has parents who love each other and make sacrifices but constantly have to struggle to make ends meet. You might say my roommates became such close friends because they find what they long for in each other’s family.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">With a lot of plea in her eyes, Maxine asked, “Go with me?”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;"><br />
</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Emerald graciously declined because she had a date with her recent and rather rich catch. Actually though, I know the real reason she refused was that she was beginning to tire of Maxine’s family drama, regardless of all the luxury she enjoys.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;"><br />
</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Emerald was beginning to realise that the home she has is golden, even if she has to borrow jewellery and shoes every now and then.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">It was sad really, watching Maxine struggle just because she has to go spend the weekend with her parents. She zipped up her bag with so much exaggerated effort and headed for the door. My heart went out to her as she walked off with slumped shoulders as if she had a 50kg cement bag on each one. I watched her as she headed home….<o:p></o:p></span></div>
